Color Conversion: Palettes LEADTOOLS supports a variety of palette options

Whenever you reduce a bitmap to 8 bits per pixel or less, a palette must be specified or created. (Click here for more info on palettes and palettized images). With LEADTOOLS you can do any of the following:

• Let LEADTOOLS create a palette that is optimized for the particular image . (As an option, this palette can include the system identity palette.)
• ICC Profile and emulation table support.
• Specify a fixed palette , which is the same for all images that use it. The palette can be LEAD's fixed palette or the Netscape fixed palette.
• Specify a palette of any size that you have created. In creating your own palette, you can fill in part of the palette, and let LEADTOOLS fill the rest with optimized colors.
• Modify the colors in the bitmap palette.
• Copy a palette from a device context.
• Use a table to increase the efficiency of the palette that you define.
• Create a color look up table to remap the colors in the image based on a curve that passes through specified points or based on a specified mathematical function.
• Color channels in an RGB color space can be swapped.
• Use window leveling to map 12/16 bit grayscale intensities/ranges to user defined colors/gradients by specifying the bit range and/or a user defined color map.**
• Control of the conversion of a color image to grayscale by assigning a "weight" to each color channel.
• Control of the size and shape of of the grain during the color to halftone conversion.
• Histogram equalization support for RGB, YUV and grayscale color spaces.
